In 3.3.3 the new spell power coefficient for Lifebloom's Bloom is now 0.516 instead of 0.645 because it was nerfed by 20% during a patch since that coefficient was found. If this could be updated in the original post that would be great(I didn't know who to PM which is why I posted, hope that isn't too much trouble >.<). Thanks much!

just a quick question guys, I've been wondering about the worth of the Resto T10 4x piece bonus. Currently I'm only using the 2x piece bonus which is really nice, my question is. Is it worth taking the 4x piece bonus, when you have to sacrifice haste and spell power. For a 2% chance to proc another rejuvenation off of HOT ticks just doesn't seem worth it to me, I can out heal all of our other resto druids using the 4x piece bonus, this is because I'm over the haste cap. I use Heroic Saurfang head from 10man Icc at the moment, my argument is why downgrade my gear and nerf my haste for the sake of a 2% chance to proc.

Anyone that can shed some light on this would help me a great deal, happy HOT'in

4xT10 is not that great either, creating problems such as unable to swiftmend the targets it proced to (unless they changed it) and since it tends to jump on lower hp targets, there is very high chance you are casting rejuv on the same target too, resulting in overwriting the proc. Add to that the simply awful itemization of the other pieces and you should really stay away from them.

err, no.
There's little to gain from the extra haste on 1 item (there's no 277 helmet with haste). If you can cap haste with few or no haste gems and 4t10 then that's the best setup.

Yea you can. There is simply no reason in a 25 man raid not to have 4 set bonus. Even with trauma, been haste capped is pretty easy to archive with 264 gear.

There was a brief bug where you couldn't Swiftmend the jumps. There's still a bug, I believe, where Swiftmends off of jumps are much bigger than they should be. Haven't checked for a while, but I think saw a 40k Swiftmend sometime recently.

On the initial question, 4T10 is quite good and you'll use it for nearly all purposes.

Swiftmend off jumps are 6 ticks instead of 4.

A well-targetted WG hits 6 people and ticks every second. Also, if it procs on one of said clumped people, there are lots of other folks nearby for the proc to jump to. On the flip side, RJ has 3 sec split between ticks, and a proc on a RJ'd target may be someone more spread out 10 yds from others and thus not jump (m)any other people.

Anywho, just because it procs on one WG tick doesn't mean all WG ticks proc, you're just more likely to see a Trauma proc on a WG cast just due to numbers of ticks it causes and law of averages (kind of like you're very likely to see a Clearcasting proc from a GotW cast).

I can tell you from much experience that a strict use of WG on cooldown, well-placed on a melee group will have a huge impact on the numbers you see from Trauma. Certainly 15 wide RJ can proc it quite a bit as well, but you're not likely to get as many targets nearby who it proc'd on as you will from your WG casts.

Relevant 3.3.5 upgrades:

[Phaseshifter's Bracers] is the only major one.
[Glowing Twilight Scale] we've already talked about, seems like a pretty solid loot for us overall.

These things are all technically improvements but probably not worth worrying about:
[Bracers of Fiery Night]
[Cloak of Burning Dusk]
[Ring of Phased Regeneration]

I landed a 43k swiftmend the other day, so it still happens.

The main problem I can see with this is that at all other times, the crit is completely wasted unless you're tank healing for some reason. Not only that, but if you're going into a period of intense healing, it may not be wise to spend 2 GCDs on a 30% chance to proc 1072 spellpower. We have very good trinket options as druids, and I'm not convinced this is one of them unless someone very clever finds a way to keep this up to the point that a DPS could.
